THE INFO: Mesa Falls is one of the most breathtaking sites in eastern Idaho. I have spent many hours exploring its vastness and fall in love with its beauty over and over again. Mesa Falls has a lower and upper falls. I would recommend seeing both and spending time exploring around and taking in the grandness of the never ending ever greens. The falls themselves are only open for cars in the summer time- starting in May. Prepare for an eight mile (hard) hike if its snowy season because the roads are not maintained.
WHAT TO DO: My favorite time to go a few hours before sunset, most of the tourist have diminished and you have the whole place to yourself. Hike down to the river and have a picnic with friends. However prepare for mosquitos, I mean a ton of mosquitos. Also go in a group and watch out for bears, I have seen some from the comfort of my car, but do not let your guard down.
THE ADDRESS: Upper Mesa Falls Targhee National Forest, Idaho
